<item> Item

<item> is a formatting element which may be used in two ways. First, it may be used as an entry in a <list> as a number, word, or phrase. Second, it may be part of a <defitem> inside a definition list, in which it is paired with a <label> which it defines/describes/explains.

Changes from EAD 2002

<item> gained @lang and @script. It can no longer contain <address>, <archref>, <bibref>, <blockquote>, <chronlist>, <emph>, <extptr> <extref>, <linkgrp>, <occupation>, <repository>, <table>, <unitdate>, and <unittitle>. Importantly, it can no longer be used within <revisiondesc>, which has been replaced by <maintenancehistory>.
